The given MATLAB function myFact
calculates the factorial of a positive integer n
.
Explanation:
- Input: The function takes a single input argument
n
, which is expected to be a positive integer. - Initial Value: It initializes a variable
m
to1
. This serves as the accumulator that holds the product of values as the loop progresses. - For Loop: The
for
loop iterates from1
ton
, multiplying the current value ofm
by the loop variablei
in each iteration. Essentially, it computes: [ m = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times \dots \times n ] - Output: At the end of the loop,
m
contains the factorial ofn
, which is returned as the output.
Example:
- If
n = 5
, the loop computes ( 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 = 120 ). The function returns120
.
Usage:
This function essentially replicates the functionality of MATLAB's built-in factorial
function.
